This Cor 'parry its formed for leasing or purchasing Coal fields in th, South Wales Basin, and working the collieries for export a nd home consumption. The grea t and increasing demand for South Wales coal both at hot se and abroad, for steam and other purposes, presents a t lost favourable opportunity for commencing and prosecuting . a large and profitable business. The Boai el of Trade Report stows that the exports :I.om South Wales in 1862 amounted to L,378,971 tons. The ,efe urns for 1863 when published will show a great increase. INrearly a fourth part of the total exports of the United K ingdom i s from the ports of South Wales. The quantity thu exports dis equal to that from Newcastle and Sunder. land respectively- The coal now being supplied to the ports of Cardiff and Newport is utterly inadequate in quantity to meet the pre sent demarei ', which is progressively increasing, and it has become a in atter of serious consideration how the future demand is ta , be met, seeing that the commercial marine of the world is t .apidly changing from sailing to steam vessels, whilst the w orking of foreign rialways, which has only lately commea iced, will necessitate exports on a vast scale. The great vi lue of the South Wales coal for steam and all other purpo tea is too well known to need explanation here, and great success is attending all well-regulated and careful workir gs. The present extraordinary demand has raised the aver a - 4. e price from Bs. to lls, or 12s. per ton, the present officialil -ices, The Company has secured, cn advantageous terms, a lease for 50 years of c a - densive seams of coal in the barony of Abergavenny, id a atical with and forming portion of those now worked with great success by the Blaenavon Company and other coalown ers. The average woi, .14ing thickness of these seams is 30 feet. On this property,. which is in communication with all the railways in the dist.tict, the Company proposes to commence operations. From the actual e.K perience of adjacent collieries working the same seams, it t as been proved that the coal can be vaised and delivered i n trucks on the railway, including royalty, at a cost of 5g . per ton. the carriage to Newport is ls. 95. per ton. L is estimated the t, when in full work, at least 300,000 tons oer annum will lie raised on this property alone, for which a stile will be re adily found ; and this, assuming the profit to be only ls. per ton upon the capital to be ern• ployed on this first operation (which will not exceed £75,000), would yield a profit of 20 per cent. Tttere ben ig no reservation of any kind for promoters or premiums fc r leases payable, the shareholders will obtain the entire IA nefit of the employment of the capital raised, preliminary . expenses being confined to the necessary dis )Jursements,. Applicat3,ons for shares in the annexed form may be made to th,) brokers or bankers of the Company, or to the Secretary i a Linden •, or to Messrs.

LONDON, TUESDAY, FEB. 16, 1864. The result of the Brighton election is a greet I triumph for the Conservatives. It shows clearly in what direction public opinion now trrids, and how little support the Ministers can have a right to expect should they fulfil their threat of appealing to the country in the event of an adverse decision being recorded against them in the House. There could hardly have been a more difficult or unlikely place to select for a trial of strength than Brighton, which is proverbial for returning Liberal candi dates, and has been regarded as a sure stronghold against the inroads of Conservatism. Mr. Mooß's success was a decided one ; but, notwithstanding that he came in at last by a decided majority, this election is not to be regarded so much as a Conser vative triumph, as a Liberal failure. It is not that the country care for all the tenets that are held deer by the Constitutional party, as they are called, so much as they are thoroughly disgusted with the hypocrisy, and the inertness or inefficiency of the Popular section of politicians. What is there to in uca a constituency to return a supporter of Lord .PALMERSTON a devotee of this Cabinet, a professor of Libe ra li sm ? Those who lock on at the game from afar, will not be influenced by any pre judices or confused with conflicting statements- They saw the plain unvarnished truth, and not the embroidered facts which are presented to those who are dragged into the Cort e . ; of public affairs. In the many and surprising successes which have of late distinguished the Conservative party at elec tions throughout the country we recogniseaaremarked change in the public generally. Th ey begin ning to comprehend that it is safe and wiser to elect men who make but few professions, and afterwards fulfil them faithfully, than to put their faith in those would-be reforming and impetuous candidates whose actions so seldom keep pace with words. Vox ei preterea nihil may well be the criticism of their careers. It must ba a great mortification to mini eters thus to witness their spoils tAea from them, BONNET'S SILKS a LYON.—Every Article of commerce takes its title either from the inventor or manufacturer, and the more perfect the production the grater is the credit which attaches to the originator.

If the policy of the Cabinet is to be indubitably fixed to the sketch which has been graphically drawn for us in one House by Earl RUSSELL, and in the other by Lord PALMERSTON, he need not be a renegade, but a patriotic lover of his country, who will wish that the example of Brighton may be widely fol lowed, and a sort of precedent thus established to send to Parliament none but those who declare for the true and tried policy which has always distinguished our country, amid all the earthquakes and hurri canes that have upset thrones and dynasties abroad—double-dealing will infallibly fail in poli tics, as in everything else in the long run. The people of an intelligent and cultivated community will inevitably inquire what is our object, and whether are we tending. To such queries at pre sent the most unsatisfactory answers must begin. The Government came in through a successful dodge, and their sinuous policy has landed them at last among doubts, dangers, and difficulties that would be enough to appal the boldest, and affright the bravest. Our foreign policy is a disgrace to us at home, and of the most disastrous issue abroad; our home tactics are to do nothing, and it is there fore no wonder that the inhabitants of an impor tant town should try a desperate remedy, and adopt the expediency of selecting new men to see if such an experiment can procure them better measures. The decision at Brighton will doubtless influence other constituencies whose members are not yet returned, and if so the ranks of the Opposition will present a most formidable phalanx when the day comes for the tug of war. May they then be found faithful to the principles they have professed, stedfast in the spirit of nationality which now animates them, and zealous to uphold the rights of the country of whose honour they claim to be the champions and defenders. There was an excellent piece of advice offered to Ministers some time since in a comic publication, and they had better take heed to its counsel, for since then the clouds have darkened, and all portend the coming necessity of caution, which is implied in these words, " Against the storm prepare." The news brought from India by the latest mail is not without interest, although it is less eventfu than the intelligence of last month. There was every reason when the mail left to conclude that the worst of the frontier war was over, if not finally concluded. The Bouairees, said to be the most dan gerous of our antagonists, had not only given up the contest, but had sent a contingent of 2,000 men to assist our forces in another quarter. General CHAMBERLAIN had held the Umbeyla Pass, in spite of all attempts to dislodge him, and the discourage ment of the tribes was complete. The Government, warned by previous experience, determined to act promptly at the first alarm, and at the first rumours of war and disaffection despatched such strong rein forcements into the dangerous quarter that matters were very soon settled. The arrival of Sir JOHN LAWRENCE, which was looked for with the greatest eagerness by all parties, will also by this time have expedited a pacific arrangement. The Punjab is the very quarter in which Sir JOHN LAWRENCE'S capacities and experience will prove most valuable. It is the scene of his former successes, and his cha racter and ability are known and appreciated by the native chiefs. They will confide in his justice and honour no less certainty than they will reckon on his firmness, his energy, and his courage. The man who held the reins of Government unshaken through the terrible convulsions of 1857 may surely be trusted to bring a mere frontier campaign to a speedy conclusion. The first matter of regret connected with this outbreak must, of course, be the thought of the brave men and gallant officers whose lives have been sacrificed in the struggle ; bat the cost of the expedition is a serious weight on the finances of a country like India. The expense of the war will, it is said, be not less than a million sterling. Sir CHARLES TREVELYAN will have good reason to lament the restless pugnacity of the hill tribes, which have added so large and unexpected an item to the debtor side of his balance-sheet, just when the financial prospects of India were doing so much credit to his careful and judicious manage ment. Added to the demands made upon the Trea sury by military expenses, there is another financial perplexity in the existence of a monetary crisis. There is a heavy pressure upon silver, and this it has been proposed to relieve by the introduction of a subsidiary gold currency ; but Sir CHARLES THE VELYAN, with the more enlightened views to be expected from him, prefers to try the experiment of making paper currency a legal tender beyond Allahabad. Happily, there have as yet been no considerable failures, and we must, therefore, hope that the storm will blow over. The cotton interest seems to bo happily exempt from the distress felt in other quarters. The area under cultivation is rapidly on the increase, having augmented nearly one-half in the year in the North-Western Provinces. With regard to matters of in- ,ernal legislation, India shows signs of improvement. The Cnief Justice, Sir BOWES PEACOCK, has addressed himself to the reform of the civil courts. It seems that it had become too much the fashion for our Judges in these courts to aim at getting through the cases as rapidly as pos sible, hearing two or three suits at once, or rather leaving► the hearing of the witnesses to clerks, and only reading the depositions. Such laxity is now at once put a stop to. It is required that the Judges shall make a memorandum of each witness's evi dence, which they must sign ; they aro called upon to attend punctually, and to devote their whole attention to the business before them, being re minded, very justly, that " the character and merits of a judge do not depend so much upon the number of suits which he decides as upon the soundness and accuracy of his decisions." This movement has taken the Judges by surprise, but it is one that is of great practical value, and is calculated to do a great deal of good. One of our firmest holds upon the natives is the equity and impartiality of our laws. The Hindoos are naturally a litigious people, and no thing is more likely to incense them than any ap parent neglect of their law suits. The party against whom the verdict goes will naturally say that the Judge did not understand his case, and had he had a fair hearing the result would have been different. There is no practice, save abso.ute bribery and corruption, more inimical:to the interests of justice than a hurried or imperfect hearing of cases, and if the custom of hearing more than one cause at a time has really prevailed to eny extent among our Anglo-Indian judicial functionaries, the sooner it is put a stop to by high authority thu better. The Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal has meanwhile been bestirring himself in a cause that will win the sympathies of all persons of common humanity. It appears that the atrocious custom of Suttee has rot entirely died out in Bengal, since very recently a most painful instance oc curred, in which the miserable victim, unable to endure the torture, flung herself from the pile, only to be driven back by the taunts and re proaches of tho bystanders. Hearing of the.e circumstances the Lieutenant-Governor invoked the aid of the British Indian Association to pre vent the recurrence of such horrible scenes. A arge and influential meeting took place, which, we are glad to find, was numerously attended by eminent natives. One of these declared that the Suttee was "a moat degrading custom, opposed alike to the laws of GOD and man, and revolting in the highest degree to human nature." It is highly satisfactory to find a Hindoo speaking of the practice in such strong terms. In Rajpootana, when another case of suttee took place, the young Rajah declared the village forfeited, and long terms of imprisonment were inflicted on the principal offenders. Such are among the happy effects of the gradual diff ision of enlightenment and civilisation, and encourage us in the hope of the future Chris tianising and civilising of India. There could hardly be a more momentous epoch for so many eleetions to take place. It seems as if every possible coincidence had met to give excite ment to the opening of this session. Flushed with the triumph which they lately achieved in Devon port, the Conservatives have resclved to try another chance in that locality, and thus secure the place for themselves. In pursaance of this resolve, Mr. FLEMING has been down to address the electors as a future candidate for that town in the Conservative interest. His address was to the , point, and elicited much applause. He briefly sketched his views with respect to tome matters, and of course laid the greatest stress upon foreign affairs. In referring to this subject, ho said that he thought England was humiliated Jy the present conduct of affairs. Mr. FLEMING declared his ideas to be those of non-intervention , but not peace-at any-price notions. This is a very good definition ; and if this line of demarcation were only fully and faithfully kept, how different would be the aspect of things at present. As it is, it may be said that Earl RUSSELL pursues a totally different course, for, instead of non-intervention, he meddles in every. thing, makes suggestions which are never fol lowed, gives advice which is never heeded, and then, when matters reach a crisis, fans back upon the peace cry, and declines to do anything to assist those whom our false professions of friendship have drawn into trouble or to vindicate the honour of our own country and protect the interests of our subjects. All this false and fatal system of politics was very fully exposed by Mr. FLEMING, and he successfully depicted the anomalous position in which we are now placed. It is a pity I that no well-wisher to the Government lad the sense or the spirit to warn them of the grievous mistake they were making in allowing their opponents to gain such a vantage ground, and possess such a handle agaisst them as foreign politics. This weapon will be brandished against them for a long while to come, and so long as there is a remnant of the old spirit extant in England, or a portion of ancient recollection in the memory, the appeal will not be made in vain which calls upon Englishmen to disclaim and disavow the pernicious policy which is bringing our Govern ment into disrepute, and our national glory into dishonour. Mr. FLEMING had plenty of material upon which to draw for his strictures, and was therefore able to present his hearers with no nig gard epitome of events. With Poland, where the revolution had been needlessly encouraged, and dis patches written that were not acted upon in one iota. With Denmark, whose very mention• is a reproach to all connected with recent affairs, and bids fair to remain a blut upon our national escut cheon if some prompt measures are not adopted to retrieve our position, and to rectify past blunders ; and with America, which subject is so rife with questions of difficulty, in which our authorities have so often lapsed from their duties, there was every opportunity afforded to the speaker; and while the Conservative candidates have so good a case for their party, and can make out so damaging a one for their opponents, they need never fear that the constituencies throughout tha country will not respond to them with heartfelt sympathy, and sup port them in word and deed. Thackeray and Knowles, TO THE EDITOR OF THE kIIN. Sin,—Mr. Anthony Trollope, in his tscellent notice of Thackeray, in the Cornhill Magazine fa this month, con cludes as follows :—"lt is to be regarded s a thing of course, that there should be a bust of Thackeny in 'Westminster Abbey."

A few months since I applied to a legal friend to ascertain whether he thought it probable the Legislature would settle the law respecting astrological practice, mentioned in my various works and letters upon this subject, during the last 10 or 12 years iz The Sun newspaper, and otherwise, and respecting which matter, as I have elsewhere shown, I have incurred much trouble, loss of time, inconvenience, and expense. My corraspoadent stated that everything respecting reform was et a stand still, consequently the hope of any alteration or legal inter ference was distant, in his opinion, notwithst andin g p ast hints and promises to t h e contrary. As, however, the Legislature has interfered in the case above referred to, possibly, also, some alteration may be really cont roplated respecting the old grieNance, which I have brought to your notice with respect to Copestick, and other astrological students. Can any of your readers give me information upon this point? and so oblige yours obediently. CIIR. C °ORE. Braunton, Devon. 14th, Feb., 1864.

(Per the City of New York, via Roche's Point.) NEW YORK, FEB. 6 (Morning). The Confederates have been driven back in Western Virginia, and have retreated from before Newbern, North Carolina. Southern advices report that the Federals have been repulsed in East Ten- THE PLOT AGAINST THE EMPEROR. PARIS, FEB. 16. The legal papers of to-day state that an order has been issued by the Chambre de Mises en Accu sation, sending the case of Mazzini and the four Italians before the Court of Assizes of the Depart ment of the Seine upon the charge of conspiracy against the life of the Emperor. The case will probably come on for hearing on the 25th inst. THE WAR IN SCHLESWIG. NANI3URG, FEB. 16. Th© IVachrichten publishes advicas from Dune], stating that the Ist Regiment of Danish Foot sallied from their entrenchments and attacked two Prussian batteries. The Danes are said to have been almost destroyed. VIENNA, FEB. 13. The official Wiener Zeitung publishes a contra diction to the reply alleged to have been made by General von Gablenz to a deputation from the town of Schleswig. It declares that no deputation waited upon the General during his stay in the town. Ten military surgeons have been sent hence to bring back convoys of 'wounded to Austria. In addition to the medical men attached to the corps actually on service in Schleswig, 54 others are employed in hospital duty. HAMBURG, FEB. 13. The Austrian Civil Commissioner, Count Rever ters, has passed through here upon his way to Schleswig. The Prussian and Austrian Commis sioners will now probably take up their official resi dence in the town of Schleswig, as announced by Baron von Zedlitz, The entirely German population of that town will not be likely to carry out the expec tations expressed to the Flensburgers. The Danish officials have already abandoned their posts, either voluntarily or by compulsion, and unmistakeable Schleswig-Holsteins have been instituted in their stead by the citizens. FLENSBURG. FEB. 16. The Austrian and Prussian Commissioners have left for Apenrade. Prussian police have arrived from Berlin. It is stated that the Austrians will occupy North Schleswig, and the Prussians the South of the Duchy. Amtmann Thomsen, of Oldens worth, and the President of Husum have been appointed heads of administration in Bredstedt, Eiderstedt, Tonningen, and Friederichstadt. They are empowered to appoint and dismiss officials in:Schleswig, subject to the approval of the Commissioners. HAMBURG, Feb. 13. Intelligence from a Danish source reports that according to the statement of President Monrad, the Government has determined to defend Duppel and Alsen to the utmost. Intelligence from Rendsburg of yesterday after noon reports a sharp engagement at Atzbull. The Austrian soldiers decorated by General von Gablenz left this morning, with 13 guns taken at Oversee, for Vienna. 400 Danish prisoners were sent this morning southward. Nothing certain is known of the battle at Duppel. COPENHAGEN, Feb. 9. In addressing the Upper House of the Rigsdag upon the position of Danmark, President Monrad spoke as follows :-- "Gentlemen ! I trust that the attempts of foreign journals to sow mistrust and suspicion in your hearts will not succeed in creating distrust between the King and his people. Our position, in truth, is difficult enough, and we shall find defence suffi ciently arduous without this new difficulty being raised. " Our best military positions—Duppel and Alsen, where we have all the same advantages the enemy had in attacking the Dannewerke—are still ours. Be assured, gentlemen, that we are steadily bent upon defending ourse:ves to the uttermost. We only ask of you and of the Danish people not to abandon coolness and self-possession, even if we should encounter further heavy loss. 'l,`" Depend upon it, gentlemen, if we are to issue victorious from these trials, it can only be by en durance, by holding more and more firmly together the harder we are tried by misfortune. So will it come to pass that we shall fight with renewed strength and vigour for the independence and freedom of our country. This, gentlemen, is the sense in which we must act. We must know how to direct our whole energies to the defence of the country. Nothing but a determined combination of all of us can impart the requisite strength for op position ; nothing but a firm understanding between King and people can enable us to meet the blow." COPENHAGEN, Feb. 9, 1864. At the sitting of the Rigsdag to-day both houses unanimously adopted the following address to the Danish army : "The Dannevvirke has been abandoned ! " The Danish Rigsdeg has been painfully sur• prised to learn this fact, but its trust in the future is by no means weakened, nor will the army have ost heart. " The Danish army has been forced to evacuate Holstein without striking a blow, exposed to the scorn of the enemy and of the populace ; but during its retreat it preserved the most perfect order and dignified calmness. For nearly six weeks past it has borne inclement weather, hardships and priva tions, but nevertheless remained true to itself, and looked forward with ardour to the day of battle, Battle came. Every man did his duty in the en gagements which have occurred, and faced the enemy with courage. " The Danish Rigsdag thanks the Danish army. " The Dannewirke has Leen abandoned, but the Rigsdag will never lose confidence in its sons and brothers, the living Dannewirke of our land. Long live the army ! As soon as circumstances permit, it will again go to the front, with God for King and country ! We trust in the living God, we trust in the spirit of the people, and we trust in the army, over which this spirit soars. "In so earnest a time the Rigsdag will not forget its duty. It fulfils but a small part of that duty when it sends a fraternal greeting to the valiant army of the Danish land !" President Monroe declared his pleasure that the Address expressed no opinion upon the evacuation of the Dannewirke. He agreed with the spirit it displayed, and it was entirely in accordance with the policy of the Government. With the evacua tion of the Dannewirke began the energetic con duct of the war. FLENSBURG, FEB. 10. The strong fortified position of Duppel, considered by many equal to the Dannewirke, was formerly not fortified at all. Now seven independent works upon the crests of hills present a strong front towards the west, and lean upon the Alsen Sund, at Suur likke, with the right wing, where they are flanked by batteries upon Alsen ; with the left wing they join the Venningbond or southern part of the bay. The works are so constructed that they command the whole approaches ,as far as Stenderup. Four works are placed to the north of the road leading to the mill _of Duppel and then to the south. The earthen ramparts are mostly 20 feet high ; the moats 12 feet deep by 20 feet broad ; the gorges of the bastions aro chiefly Pali saded. Several batteries armed with guns of the heaviest calibre are placed between the works, especially bet weeu the Duppel mill and the landing place of Frendenthal on the Venningbord, situated thatthe flanks are defended from the sea, and the centre from the heights of Duppel. The Allsound and Nubeln oer afford hostile gunb oa t s am ple oppor tunity of taking part in an engagement. The num ber of creeks and landing places further enable an enemy to land:his troops suddenly and unnoticed at points from which they can make demonstrations in the rear of the attacking party. Two tete& de pont serve to cover the paesage at Sonderburg, one of which is a crown work. Several batteries are placed upon the heights of the Alsen Coast. The passage to the island of Aiwa is not more THE GAROTTE AGAIN, TO THE EDITOR Or" Tut am a Dane, but resident in your metropolis, where I have been assured th a t th e l a ws are strong enough for the protection of my per son an d pro perty. The other evening I was r e t urn i ng home somewhat lat e from a jollification, where I had been assisting at the mar riage of one of my fair countrywomen with a Londoner. Having about as much as I could carry, two stout English men volunteered to take care of me and see me home. I remarked, as we started, that they had each provided him self with a good cudgel in order to be ready for any emergency, especially as they knew I had some valuable jewellery about me. Opposite Lord Palmerston's mansion, in Piccadilly, three or tour ill-looking fellows, apparently Germans, from the oaths they ut tered in th at language , rushed out upon me from an adjoining portico, and bela o - boured me most unmercifully. As they came upmy tw protectors took to their heels, to my imm ense astonishment, and left me in the lurch. I made all the resistance in my power, but was overpowered, and became insensible. When I came to myself I found my pockets turned inside out and d emptied, and my cowardly assailan ts gone ' home tr.. Leicester-square, and on the following i mornmorningl received two very polite notes from the Englishmen, sin craw cerely sympathising with me on the event of the previous night, and expressing a friendly hope that I was not much the worse for it.

They were placed in three deep pits and covered over with immense quantities of flints, as it is supposed, to preserve them from being taken possession of by some hostile tribe. nessee. Official despatches from Newbern to the 2d inst. state that the Confederates have attacked Newbern. They hold the railroad between Newbern and Morehead City, and may be forced to retire to Fort Macon. They captured the guaboat Underwriter. Despatches to the 3d inst. state that tha enemy had retired on Kingston, and that Newbern had been relieved. Western Virginia despatches to the 4th state that the Federals had overtaken the Confederates at the ford of the river at Moorfield. The Confederates were disputing the passage of the river. The Federals were in position and had commenced to open fire with their artillery. It is reported that Generals Thomas or Hunter will be assigned to the command of General Meade's army, and that General Hooker will succeed Thomas in Tennessee. No confirmation of the reported e meute in Lee's army has been received, and the reported des3rtions are said to be much exaggerated. The Confederates employ artillery in attacking Mississippi steamers. They lately engaged three Federal gunboats for a considerable period before they were repulsed. The restrictions on trade within the Federal military lines in Western Virginia have been re• moves, The New York Tribune asserts that Mr. Layton will be recalled from Paris, and that General Fre mont will be appointed in his place. The Repub lican journals, however, assert that nothing would induce General Fremont to leave the country at ,he present time. The Federal State officers, chosen by conven tion, have been inaugurated at Little Rock, Arkansas. The New York Legislature has resolved to add two million dollars to the recruiting fund, and to increase the State bounty to three hundred dollars. The examination of the Chesapeake pirates at St. John's continues. They have produced certifi cates to prove themselves naval officers appointed under the Confederate Government. The excitement in Nova Scotia concerning the gold discoveries is increasing. The Arabia has arrived at Halifax. The Jura has arrived out. General Kelly telegraphs that after six hours' fighting the Confederates had been driven from Moorfield, Western Virginia, and that his cavalry was in pursuit and sharply engaged with them on the south fork of the river. The Philadelphia Ledger contains a rumour that Admiral Farragut's fleet and 20,000 men attacked New Orleans (?) Mobile on Saturday last by way of Pascagoula. This requires confirmation. NEW YORK, FEB. 6, Morning. Latest advices from Western Virginia state that, in consequence of General Kelly's vigorous attack and pursuit, General Early had retreated on the south fork of the south branch of the Shenandoah Valley. The Federals have driven the Confede rates out of Petersburg. Southern advices from Longstreet's army to the 30th, state that General Martin attacked the Fede rale oa the 28th and after a stubborn fight drove them from the field. The Federals retreated in the direction of Sevieiville. Southern despatches state that the Confederates entered Corinth (Mississippi) on the 30th, capturing a great quantity of arms. The Federals left as the Confederates entered. The Evening Post contains a letter reaffirming the abandonment of Fort Pillow by the Fedorals. Advices from Charleston to the Ist inst. state that the Federals kept up a fire on the city and Fort Sumter. The Confederates have mounted five guns on Sumter, and are piling up sand bags and cutting ravines through the rubbish. The flagstaff was shot away on the 30th, but replaced. A Federal expedition under General Sherman is fitting out at Vicksburg. It is supposed that it will operate against Mobile or in the trans-Mississippi department, The Tribune asserts that Gen. W. F. Smith will probably succeed Meade. The House of Representatives has passed the con fiscation resolution by 82 to 74. By this resolution the lands of the Confederates may be confiscated in fee and not merely for life. The Richmond 'Sentinel of the Ist inst. says that the steamers Pet and Hercules have run the Wil mington blockade. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, FEB• 5 (Evening). Money easy. Gold 58k.
